In this paper, a mathematical model has been developed to analyze the combined electroosmotic and pressure driven flow of power law fluids in a micro channel in the presence of Joule heating effects. The effects of Navier slip boundary condition and thermal radiation is examined for effective heat transfer in a hydrophobic microchannel. The analytical treatment has been performed for fluid flow and heat transfer effects in terms of flow governing parameters. This study highlights the effect of channel height to the electric double layer thickness and observed the flow variation due to heat transfer effect with the available scientific data. For a pure EOF, velocity slip have more significant role to get a maximum flow rate as expected. For both pseudo-plastic and dilatent fluids Nusselt number is decreased with the increment of the hydrophobic parameter and dimensionless pressure gradient where as increment in Joule heating effect enhance the heat transfer rate.

In this study, an analytical investigation on pressure driven flow of Powell-Eyring fluid is conducted to understand the irreversibilities due to heat transfer and viscous heating. The flow between infinitely long parallel plates is considered as fully developed and laminar with constant properties and subjected to symmetrical heat fluxes from solid boundaries. The internal heating due to viscous friction accompanies external heat transfer, that is, viscous dissipation term is to be involved in the energy equation. As a cross-check, accuracy of analytical solutions is confirmed by a predictor-corrector numerical scheme with variable step size.
